Naples
Main Office Rural Carrier Toni Staples (second, right) was recognized for
assisting an elderly customer who was in danger. Postmaster Richard Barber (left) and Supervisors,
Customer Services Julian McNeal (second, left) and Michael Felix (right) honored
Staples in front of her co-workers.
Staples
had completed her route and was going to her private vehicle to leave for the
day when she heard screaming coming from the customer parking lot. She found an elderly lady sitting in the
passenger seat of a car that was slowly moving backwards towards six lanes of
traffic. Staples noticed the car was out
of gear and quickly jumped in the driver’s seat and stopped the car. Her prompt actions prevented a possible collision
and injuries.
Way
to go, Toni!
